Marion Crêpes Harajuku マリオンクレープ 原宿竹下通り店

The crêpe stand that started Harajuku's crêpe culture in 1977, with a wall of plastic food models showing dozens of wrapped crêpes stuffed with cream, fruit, cheesecake and ice cream.

About

Marion began as a food truck in 1976 and moved to Takeshita Street the next year, kicking off the Harajuku tradition of walking-around crêpes. The thin, slightly crisp crêpes are folded into a cone and filled with combinations such as strawberry and whipped cream, banana-chocolate, a whole slice of cheesecake, tiramisu, matcha ice cream or savoury tuna and ham. The fun is choosing from the glossy plastic samples that cover the stand's front. Expect a short queue on weekends, but service is quick.

Highlights

• Over 70 sweet and savoury crêpe combinations
• Display wall of shiny plastic food samples
• Signature fillings like strawberry cheesecake and chocolate banana
• Harajuku's original crêpe stand, here since 1977
• Quick takeaway service on Takeshita Street

Tips

• Order by number from the plastic display, no Japanese needed
• Eat at the stand rather than strolling the crowded street
• Weekday mornings have almost no queue
• Ice-cream versions melt fast in summer, grab napkins
